### Who does this affect?

* Blind people using screen readers

### Why is this important?

An HTML `<form>` element with a label or title, or any element with a `"form"` role is a type of WAI-ARIA landmark region. When there are multiple `"form"` regions, they must have unique labels, so people who use assistive technologies can quickly identify and navigate to each form region.

<Column colLg={11} colMd={5} colSm={4} className="toolMain">

<div id="locLevel"></div>

### Multiple elements with `"form"` role do not have unique labels
Each element with a `"form"` role must have a unique label that describes its purpose

<div id="locSnippet"></div>

### What to do

* For each element with a `"form"` role, either set the value of the `aria-labelledby` attribute of each form to the `id` value of any visible text that appropriately and uniquely describes that form's purpose;
* OR, use the `aria-label` attribute to add an invisible, unique, non-empty label to each element with the `"form"` role.

For example:

<CodeSnippet type="multi" light={true}>&lt;h2 id="na1"&gt; New Account&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;form  aria-labelledby="na1"&gt;
  &lt;fieldset&gt;
    &lt;legend&gt;Personal information:&lt;/legend&gt;
    &lt;label for="fname"&gt;First name:&lt;/label&gt;
    &lt;input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="Ashley"&gt;
    &lt;label for="lname"&gt;Last name:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Levy"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit"&gt;
  &lt;/fieldset&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
    
    
&lt;div role="form" aria-label="Ship-to Address="&gt;
	...
&lt;/div&gt;</CodeSnippet>
